arrayed in bridal robes, and the two no.
vices in the habits of the order, with
white wells on their heads, which were
soon to be exchanged for black ones.
Arriving at the altar the Abbot inter-
roeated the novice-elect as to her mo-
tiyes for asking to receive the holy habit
of st. Benedict. He then dwelt on the
life of sacrifice required of those who
aspire to the height OF religious perfec-
ton.
At the close of his remarks he intoned
the Veni Creator, followed by the usual
versule and prayers, closing with the
prayer Qursunsus OmnipOteus Deus.
The blessing of the habit to be ex-
changed for the bridal robes next took
place on the epistle side of the altar ;
they were afterwards handed to Miss
Bahen, the Abbot in the mean time re-
citing the EIuat te DOminus. The
Mother Superior and Mother Assistant
conducted the novice-elect to a room in
the convent, where she exchanged her
worldly attire for the coarse serge Of a
Nun, the assembly in the mean time re-
citing the 50th Psalm-MiseTe mel
Deus.
